Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of resource environment and land management, and in particular relates to a land degradation degree classification method based on convolutional neural network and multi-source data. Background Art

[0002] Land degradation is a global environmental problem that poses a serious threat to ecosystem services, food security and human well-being. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) list "zero land degradation by 2030" as one of the important goals. However, with population growth, urbanization, climate warming and irrational use of land resources, the scale and rate of land degradation are increasing, posing severe challenges to agricultural production, ecological security and sustainable economic and social development. Objectively classifying the degree of land degradation is the basis for formulating effective land management policies and restoration strategies, so it is extremely necessary to formulate accurate standards for the classification of land degradation.

[0003] The classification method of land degradation has gone through a development process from qualitative to quantitative, from single indicator to comprehensive multi-indicator. Early land degradation classification mainly relied on expert experience and field surveys. Although this method can obtain accurate point information, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive and easily affected by human accessibility, terrain, weather, and time cost. Therefore, it is impossible to quickly obtain distributed information on land degradation in a large area. With the development of earth observation technology, remote sensing technology has begun to be used for land degradation monitoring and classification. Based on this, the commonly used land degradation classification methods developed include single index method, empirical model method, comprehensive index method, and land use change method. The single index method uses single environmental indexes such as normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), vegetation coverage, surface temperature, soil organic matter content and other indicators to reflect the degree of land degradation. The empirical model method uses empirical knowledge such as soil and water loss equation (RUSLE) and ecological environment quality index (RSEI) to measure the degree of land degradation using soil and water loss and ecological quality. The comprehensive index method uses expert scoring method (AHP method, analytic hierarchy process) or objective weighting (entropy weight) and classifies the degree of land degradation through weighted synthesis of multiple environmental indicators (such as vegetation index, soil moisture, rainfall, etc.). The land use change method studies land degradation based on land use / land cover change (LUCC) and determines the degree of land degradation by analyzing changes in land types such as agricultural land, forest land, grassland, and wasteland.

[0004] The existing land degradation classification methods provided an important theoretical and practical basis for solving the land degradation problem in early studies. Although the above classification methods have promoted the progress of land degradation degree classification methods, there are still some defects that cannot be ignored: 1) Only focusing on a single environmental index, ignoring the comprehensive influence of other multi-source environmental factors such as soil characteristics, topography, climate and other factors; 2) It is usually assumed that land degradation influencing factors such as rainfall, soil and other parameters change linearly, ignoring the complex nonlinear relationship in the actual process, resulting in large deviations in the results; 3) The classification standards and classification process of land degradation degree are still extremely subjective, and no unified, cross-regionally comparable degradation degree classification characterization standards and technical processes have been formed.

[0005] To solve the above problems, it is urgent to develop a new objective classification method for land degradation degree that is objective and universal, integrates multi-source data, and uses nonlinear modeling to cope with the increasingly complex land degradation problem and improve classification accuracy and efficiency.

[0065] See also Figure 1 , the steps of the embodiment of the present invention are as follows:

[0066] S1: Determine the criteria for the degree of land degradation.

[0067] See also Figure 2 This paper defines the degree of land degradation as the relative stage of land degradation development for the first time, and uses the current soil profile hierarchy (A layer, B layer, C layer and R layer) exposed after the in-situ soil body is degraded as an intuitive representation. It is specifically divided into four degradation degrees:

[0068] No degradation: Complete ABCR layer structure,

[0070] Moderate degradation: B layer is completely lost, and C layer is exposed over a large area.

[0071] Strength degradation: Most of the C layer is lost and the R layer begins to be exposed.

[0072] The detailed description of each degradation level is shown in Table 1.

[0073] Table 1 Land degradation degree and characteristics

[0074]

[0075] This method can be used to obtain the degree of land degradation through field surveys. This definition method is based on observable soil profile structure, which reduces subjective judgment; it provides a unified standard for the classification of land degradation degrees in different regions and periods; it intuitively reflects the actual degree of soil degradation, which is easy to understand and apply; it helps to establish a global unified land degradation classification system and improve the comparability and reliability of classification results.

[0076] S2: Acquisition of sample data of land degradation degree and sample classification. Through field survey, obtain sample data of land degradation degree survey in the case area. By observing the degree of soil detachment and combining the land degradation degree classification standard proposed in S1, classify the land degradation degree of each sample point, and use the determined land degradation degree as the dependent variable in the land degradation degree classification model. The specific steps are described as follows:

[0077] S21: See Figure 3 Through field investigations, 297 land degradation survey sample data from the case area in 2020, namely the soil detachment degree information of the sample points, were collected, and the spatial coordinate information of the sample points was recorded using a handheld GPS instrument.

[0078] S22: Based on the soil stripping degree information of the sample points in the field survey and the proposed land degradation degree classification standard, the land degradation degree of each sample point is classified, and the land degradation degree of the sample is used as the model dependent variable.

[0079] S3: Factors affecting the degree of land degradation, namely, acquisition and processing of environmental data.

[0080] Considering that land degradation is caused by the combined effects of natural and human activities, multispectral remote sensing data (Sentinel-2 satellite), synthetic aperture radar (Sentinel-1 satellite), DEM, soil properties, climate, land use, and geological type data of the case area were obtained as independent variables of the land degradation degree classification model; the specific steps are described as follows:

[0081] After preprocessing these environmental data, the independent variables of the model are shown in Table 2.

[0082] Table 2 Independent variables used in the land degradation degree classification model

[0083]

[0084]

[0085] S31: Acquisition and processing of Sentinel-2 data.

[0086] All Sentinel-2 atmospheric top apparent reflectance TOA product data with spatial resolutions of 10, 20, and 60 m in the case area in 2020 were obtained on the Google Earth Engine remote sensing cloud platform. The data had been processed by radiometric calibration, atmospheric correction, and geometric correction. Cloud cover statistics were performed on the images, and only data with cloud cover less than 5% were retained. Median synthesis processing was performed on all eligible Sentinel-2 remote sensing datasets to reduce cloud cover and data noise. Then, 10 spectral indices were extracted through band calculation, including soil adjusted vegetation index (SAVI), normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), enhanced vegetation index (EVI), sum green index (SGI), normalized burn ratio (NBR), leaf area index (LAI), clay minerals ratio (CMR), and iron ore ratio index (Ferrous mineral ratio). Minerals Ratio (FMR), Iron Oxide Ratio (IOR), Burn area index (BAI). These spectral indices can invert land cover, vegetation growth, soil characteristics, and roughness.

[0087] S32: Acquisition and processing of Sentinel-1 data.

[0088] All Sentinel-1 GRD product data of the case area in 2020 after speckle filtering, terrain correction, etc. were obtained on the Google Earth Engine remote sensing cloud platform; it includes the backscatter coefficients in VV and VH polarization modes; all Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar data are median synthesized to reduce noise and obtain clearer images, and then the backscatter coefficients in VV and VH polarization modes are differentially normalized to calculate the radar vegetation index (RVI).

[0089] S33: Processing DEM data.

[0090] The STRM DEM v3.0 product DEM data with a spatial resolution of 30m in the case area was downloaded through the Google Earth Engine remote sensing cloud platform, and then the regional DEM data was used for terrain analysis using SAGA GIS software to extract terrain parameters such as altitude, slope, slope aspect, terrain curvature, terrain slope index, surface undulation, runoff dynamic index, surface roughness, terrain moisture index, and slope length.

[0091] S34: Acquisition and processing of soil, climate data, and land use types.

[0092] Soil attribute raster data with a spatial resolution of 90 m was obtained from the Resource and Environmental Science Data Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, including soil organic matter, sand, silt and clay content data; meteorological data is 1 km × 1 km raster data of annual average temperature and annual average precipitation for many years, which needs to be able to reflect the climate background characteristics. Generally, the longer the time series, the better. In this embodiment, 1 km × 1 km raster data of annual average temperature and annual average precipitation from this time to 43 years ago is selected;

[0093] Obtain land use type raster data at 30m spatial resolution;

[0094] The above environmental variable data are all in the form of raster data.

[0095] S35: Data rasterization.

[0096] Obtain soil parent material type data; obtain geological type data of the region from the China Geological Survey Center, with a scale of 1:200,000.

[0097] The obtained soil parent material type and geological type vector geological type data were rasterized through the ArcGIS 10.8 platform.

[0098] S36: Data standardization.

[0099] In ArcGIS 10.2 software, the raster data of all 32 environmental variables were resampled to a spatial resolution of 30 m using the cubic method. In addition, the raster data of land use, geological type, and soil parent material type were converted into numerical form through dummy variable processing, and other environmental variables were normalized.

[0100] S4: Construct sample data.

[0101] Using ArcGIS 10.8 software, the above 32 environmental variable data (raster spatial data) and the classified land degradation degree sample data (spatial points are data) were unified into the UTM-WGS-1984 projection coordinate system, and then all the environmental variable information corresponding to each sample point position was extracted, thereby obtaining sample data with a dimension of 33*297, where 33 is the number of variables and 297 is the number of samples.

[0102] S5: Model construction and accuracy classification.

[0103] The 297 samples of land degradation degree in the case area are used as dependent variables, and the standardized spectral remote sensing data (Sentinel-2 satellite), synthetic aperture radar (Sentinel-1 satellite), DEM, soil properties, climate, land use, and geological type data in S36 are used as independent variables; a land degradation degree classification model based on convolutional neural network is first constructed on the Python platform; and the accuracy of the classification model and classification results is quantitatively evaluated. The specific steps include the following:

[0104] S51: Digitally express the degree of land degradation and preset the model learning rate, batch, and number of iterations.

[0105] The degree of land use degradation is encoded as a one-hot vector, where no degradation is [1, 0, 0, 0], mild degradation is [0, 1, 0, 0], moderate degradation is [0, 0, 1, 0], and severe degradation is [0, 0, 0, 1]; this facilitates the operation of the convolutional neural network algorithm.

[0106] The cross entropy loss function and Adam optimizer are used in the model training process. The initial learning rate is 0.001, the batch size is 32, the number of iterations is 200, the learning rate scheduling strategy is to halve the learning rate every 50 epochs, and the early stopping strategy is to stop training if the loss does not improve within 20 epochs.

[0107] S52: Build the model and train the model.

[0108] The obtained sample data with a dimension of 33*297 were randomly divided into a training set (209) and a validation set (88) in a ratio of 7:3, which were used for model training and model accuracy verification respectively.

[0109] Based on the data structure characteristics of this embodiment, a convolutional neural network classification model is constructed, and the structure is shown in Table 3.

[0110] Table 3 Convolutional neural network classification model parameters of this embodiment

[0111]

[0112]

[0113] The model is trained using the training set. The land degradation degree classification model based on convolutional neural network makes full use of the advantages of deep learning. It can automatically extract features from multi-source data, establish complex nonlinear relationships, and achieve accurate and objective land degradation degree classification.

[0114] S6: Obtain the predictive classification results of land degradation degree.

[0115] The land degradation degree classification model based on convolutional neural network that has been trained in S5 is applied to the 32 environmental variable raster datasets with a spatial resolution of 30m in the case area and classified to obtain the predictive classification results of land degradation degree in the case area in 2020, such as Figure 5 .

[0116] Model accuracy:

[0117] The validation set is used to validate the model trained in S52. The overall accuracy (OA), Kappa coefficient (k), producer accuracy (PA), and user accuracy (UA) are used to quantitatively evaluate the reliability of the model. OA is a relatively comprehensive indicator, which is expressed as the total number of correctly classified samples divided by the total number of validation samples:

[0118]

[0119] Where N is the total number of validation samples, i refers to each category in the confusion matrix. In the confusion matrix, each category i corresponds to a row and a column of the matrix, r is the total number of categories, and x ii is the number of samples with the same true category as the classified category, x +i represents the number of samples classified into this category, that is, the sum of the i-th row; x i+ Represents the number of samples that actually belong to this category, that is, the sum of the i-th column.

[0120] As shown in Table 4, the accuracy of the land degradation degree classification model integrating multi-source data and convolutional neural network is OA 82.02% and Kappa is 73.30%.

[0121] Table 4 Confusion matrix of land degradation degree (N=89)

[0122]

[0123]

[0124] Figure 5The classification results provide a comprehensive analysis of the land degradation status of the case area. The distribution of land degradation degree: mild degradation accounts for 45.03%, moderate degradation accounts for 36.31%, severe degradation accounts for 9.54%, and extremely severe degradation accounts for 9.12%. Spatial distribution characteristics: The central mountainous area, namely the valley area, is mainly non-degraded and mildly degraded; moderate and severe degradation occurs more frequently on gentle slopes and gentle hills, and extremely severe degradation is mainly distributed on ridges and slope tops where vegetation growth is poor and the surface is gently sloping.

[0125] Based on the land degradation degree classification model based on convolutional neural network trained in S5, the permutation importance method is used to calculate the importance of a single environmental variable to the model, which can be expressed as the importance ranking of the factors affecting land degradation in the case area.

[0126] The importance scores of all environmental variables were normalized to the range of 0-1 for comparison. Figure 4 .

[0127] Figure 4 The normalized difference vegetation index, soil organic matter content, multi-year average precipitation, leaf area index, and radar vegetation index show high importance, with the importance being 15.06%, 13.90%, 12.10%, 11.88%, and 10.59% respectively; reflecting the important indicative role of vegetation coverage and soil quality on land degradation. This analysis result provides a comprehensive perspective to understand the relative importance of different environmental factors in the process of land degradation. It can not only guide us to use these variables more targetedly in the model, but also provide a scientific basis for land management and ecological restoration.
